The sweetness of Operation Sugar

So you may be aware of an organisation called Operation Sugar. Its is a collective of bakers who voluntarily make cakes for sick children. This week I had the absolute pleasure of being paired with a beautiful young lad named Jens. He celebrated his fifth birthday and a successful recovery from a Neuroblastoma Tumour. Last year I was diagnosed with and treated for a bad melanoma, while I sat in a waiting room one day feeling terribly scared I saw a young boy come out of the room I was going into. He looked so fragile but had such an air of resilience about him that from that moment on I made him my inspiration. It was wonderful to give back to someone who was inspirational like that child.
Jens' birthday was pirate themed, with plank walking and all. His birthday cake of course had to match. It is a pirate ship. Chocolate flavoured at the request of the man of the hour!
